Peter Staelens (EUROCITIES) & Aljaz Plevnik (UIRS)

3 SUMP Projects – 1 Goal

The CIVITAS SUMP projects bring

together more than 80 organisations

that aim for one common goal:

To support cities across Europe to

develop and implement Sustainable

Urban Mobility Plans.

The CIVITAS SUMP projects comprise:

1.CIVITAS PROSPERITY

2.CIVITAS SUMPs-Up

3.CIVITAS SUITS

3

CIVITAS SUMPs-Up

CIVITAS SUMPs-Up enables planning authorities

across Europe to embrace SUMP as the European-

wide strategic planning approach, especially in

countries where the take-up is low and the negative

effects of transport are severe.

– SUMP learning & capacity building programme

– Selection of take-up cities via annual calls

– Financial incentives

– Inventory of effective planning tools

SUMPs-Up Needs Assessment Survey

Methodology

• The survey was carried out in Feb 2017 in 10 EU languages.

• Transport planners representing cities from all EU countries were invited by the city networks EUROCITIES, Polis, ICLEI, UBC and through Eltis,CIVITAS, EMW, Covenant of Mayors etc.

• They were asked 13 questions about city characteristics, drivers and barriers for SUMP development, the current state of transport planning, needs for support and innovative approaches.

SUMPs-Up Needs Assessment Survey

Methodology and objectives

• The survey was carried out in Jan and Feb 2017 in 10 EU languages.

• Transport planners representing cities from all EU countries were invited by the city networks EUROCITIES, Polis, ICLEI, UBC and through Eltis,CIVITAS, EMW, Covenant of Mayors etc.

• They were asked 13 questions about city characteristics, drivers and barriers for SUMP take-up, the current state of transport planning, needs for support and innovative approaches

• The aim of the survey is to understand what support city administrations need to be able to develop and implement Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans.

• The results are the basis for a tailor-made capacity building program addressed to cities and a dialogue with national governements about SUMP policy framework.

• In SUMPs-Up, 100 cities all over Europe and 200 mobility experts are invited to participate in a dedicated SUMP Learning Program.

• 441 participants responding for

• 321 cities from 27 EU member states

• Most responses: Spain (72), Greece (46), Romania (49), France (32), Hungary (20)

• 70% of all respondents are working for a city administration or public transport organisation

SUMPs-Up Needs Assessment Survey

SUMP status

Strong need for support in starting the SUMP process:

• Almost 45% are either considering to develop a SUMP or have already started to develop one

SUMPs-Up Needs Assessment Survey

SUMP status

Strong need for support in starting the SUMP process:

• Almost 45% are either considering to develop a SUMP or have already started to develop one

Strong need for support in implementing SUMPs:

• Over 30% are in the phase of implementing measures or preparing implementation

10

SUMPs-Up Needs Assessment Survey

SUMP experience by city size

• Small cities are less familiar with SUMPs than large cities

11

SUMPs-Up Needs Assessment Survey

SUMP status by city size

• Over 60% of small cities are at the start of the SUMP process

• Over 50% of large cities already have an SUMP

12

SUMPs-Up Needs Assessment Survey

SUMP experience by country

• Cities in Greece, Romania and Spain tend to be much less familiarwith SUMPs than other cities

13

SUMPs-Up Needs Assessment Survey

SUMP status by country

• Over 50% of Greek citiesare at the start of theSUMP process

• 50% of Romanian citieshave a SUMP, but still need to implement it

• 30 % of Spanish citiesare implementing orevaluating their SUMP

The SUMP projects will offer tailor-made trainingsfor different types of cities

14

SUMPs-Up Needs Assessment Survey

Support for policy development and implementation

• For fields such as urban logistics, telematics and automation support in the identification of policies and measures is needed, whereas

• for walking, cycling, public transport, car parking (an others) support for the implementation of measures are needed

15

SUMPs-Up Needs Assessment Survey

Next steps

• Detailed analysis and validation (focus group meetings)

• Report on ‘User Needs Analysis for Take-Up’ + ‘City Profile matrix’

• Next week: launch of the first SUMPs-Up call for expression of interest

• Further coordination with other SUMP projects

National Focal Points of PROSPERITY countries concerned with trainingswere encouraged to ask further practitioners, authorities and stakeholders in their country.

How results will be used?

Results from PROSPERITY will be checked against results of needs from the general user needs assessment (carried out by SUMPS UP) and used for planning of country-specific training activities.
